Hyderabad: South Zone police and the minority
welfare department have decided to provide free coaching to Muslim
students who are appearing for SSC exams or are attempting again after
failing earlier.
South Zone DCP V. Satyanarayana
mooted a proposal to Mr Syed Omar Jaleel, special secretary to the
minority welfare department, stating that the police had noticed many
Muslims students failing to clear the SSC exams due to lack of proper
coaching in mathematics, science, English and Telugu. This was resulting
in their dropping out altogether.
Many such
students were found loitering in the streets, which caused not only
social problems but law and order issues as well in the old city.
The
DCP felt that if the students were given special coaching in the four
subjects, many of them could clear their exams and go for higher
studies. Mr Jaleel said the department had accepted the proposal and
released Rs 20 lakh for coaching through Minority Finance Corporation to
start the coaching centres from Milad-un-Nabi, birthday of Prophet
Mohammad.
He said 3,000 students and dropouts
would be provided coaching. “We will use 43 computer training centres
belonging to the Urdu Academy in the old city to offer coaching every
day from 4 to 6 pm.”
Each teacher will be paid a
honorarium of Rs 2,500 and the centres would offer two- to three-month
coaching to prepare the students for the exams in March 2016.
